Background Early onset dementia (EOD) presents unique challenges, particularly in managing anxiety, stress, and sleep disturbances. Within the Young-D project, the project partners developed workshop programme for people with EOD, with the aim to address these issues. The Young-D programme was piloted …

Restoration engineering measures, such as managed realignments or building groins, modify the environmental characteristics of coastal intertidal ecosystems. Creating physical modifications that are beneficial to an intertidal system's ecology necessitates an in-depth understanding of the relationships …

Purpose: To gain a rich understanding of the experiences and opinions of patients, healthcare professionals, and policymakers regarding the design of OGR with structure, process, environment, and outcome components. Methods: Qualitative research based on the constructive grounded theory approach is …

The building and construction industry, which is responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions, is far off track in achieving its net-zero emission targets. Product-service system (PSS) business models are one of the instruments used by the industry in the transition toward reaching these targets. A …

“Circular Sandwich Panels” is a joint research project in collaboration between MNEXT, Beyond Wood, and Fairm. The project focuses on studying mycelium circular sandwich panels, which consist of the facades from Beyond Wood and mycelium foams from Fairm, as well as their application in building insulation. …

Concrete is arguably the most widely used building material in the world today. Current estimates of world cement manufacture are of the order of 1.7*109 tons per year, enough to produce well over 6 km3 of concrete per year or at least 1 m3 per person (Gartner, 2004). It is a composite material made …

Multi-faceted tasks can be completed in a linear start-to-finish fashion, or by completing the different facets parallel to each other. Either way, at some point the final additions and adjustments are made such that all the pieces fit together, and the task is completed properly. For example, baking …

This research investigates Aeolian sand transport in the dynamic dune area of Kop van Schouwen Meeuwenduinen, Netherlands. Despite previous studies, many aspects of sand transport in this region remain unexplored. This study aims to provide new insights into sand erosion and transport dynamics. Two …

One of the most common materials to build infrastructure around the globe is Portland Cement Concrete, which is also one of the factors affecting economies nowadays. Portland Cement Concrete requires a large amount of raw materials in order to be produced, like milestone, which its extraction method …

The Eastern Scheldt faces sand starvation as a result of the Eastern Scheldt storm surge barrier construction, which has led to a decreased tidal prism and subsequent loss of intertidal areas. These areas are crucial for birds and seals to rest and forage for food. To address this issue, Rijkswaterstaat …
